ORGL Course Progression

I often hear the following questions pertaining to the ORGL curriculum or the order of classes:
  • "Which course do I take first?"...
  • "Do the course numbers mean anything?"...
  • "Can I enroll in 680 at the beginning of the program?"...etc.
These are just a handful of questions pertaining to the issue of course progression in the Organizational Leadership Program. Your faculty has come together around this issue and developed a logical trail map for all of you. Look it over and feel free to comment.
Suggested Enrollment Progression
1.       500
2.       502
3.       Elective
4.       504
5.       Elective
6.       505
7.       506
8.       501 possibly 503
9.       Elective
10.   503
11.   Elective
12.   680

    I am currently in my eighth class in the ORGL program, and based on the courses I have completed so far, this progression makes a lot of sense.

    When I enrolled in the program, the first two courses in which I was enrolled were 500 & 501; however, because I wanted to earn the Servant Leadership Certificate, I took 530 as my second class instead of 501.

    This worked out well for me for a couple of reasons:
    1) I learned a great deal about myself in the S-L course. I believe that this has made the courses I have taken following that much more meaningful.
    2) Having completed 501 over the summer, I found it to require a great deal of discipline and organizational skills. I don't believe that I would have been as well-prepared to handle the work had I taken 501 so early in the program.

    I also believe that taking 502 as early in the program as possible enhances the overall experience. The time spent on campus, the opportunity to meet the professors in the program, and the interaction with other students makes one feel much more connected given the nature of online study.

    Hi Dave - I appreciate your feedback. Our enrollment coordinators are encouraging students to enroll in the 502 residency early in the program for all of the reasons you mentioned along with the continuous feedback we hear from our 502 students.
